Delmer Mejía b. 1954

Delmer Mejía was born in Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras. Mejia addresses the issue of migration through the symbol of fish, which he places in a different environment than their natural habitat of water, to represent the uprooting of people, and culture when they seek a better future.
